Why is that some of us can sniff a lettuce leaf and put on weight, while others can eat like a horse and lose weight? Why do some of us feel the cold intensely and revel in warm tropical climates and others can’t wait for winter to arrive? Why do some of us exercise so easily in the morning and others can’t be bothered and would rather have breakfast in bed? Why is it that some of us need a doona in summer and others are throwing off their sheets at night and love air conditioning?

It’s clear that we are not all the same. This fact is well understood in Ayurveda, the traditional system of healing in India. It is a healing tradition that goes back over 6,000 years and is a sister science of Yoga. During the course you will be given tools to help you identify your Ayurvedic body type and how to create a diet and lifestyle in line with that, thereby enabling you to feel more balanced and energetic as you move through your day. Living in tune with your Ayurvedic body type allows you to proactively manage your health and to prevent illness from developing in the first place.

In this course you will learn what foods and drinks are right for your body type, as well as what types of exercise, yoga and other self-care practices are best suited to your individual nature.

Ayurveda is very much concerned with how to live a life well lived, so that you have no regrets at its end. During the course you will be introduced to the four Vedic aims of life which are invaluable guiding principles in this journey.
